Tatting is one of those activities that can land people in a puddle of frustration. You’re happily on the Adventure of Life and boom, you step into this smelly, disgusting mess of thread you thought could be pretty lace. If you’re lucky, there’s an experienced tatter around to give you a hand and help you figure things out to get back to the rings and chains you see in your imagination.
Sometimes, you end
up just setting things aside for a day or so and tatting something just to create
lace. I needed a break from the design project. The deadline is looming, so it
wasn’t going to be a grand project. This square from Takashima book 3 is just
the ticket!

Letting the idea 'marinate' in the background does often help! Love this square motif and lovely variegated colourway.
